CCC buys up Web design team

Web site design consultancy Hive has been taken over by CCC Multimedia. Hive partners Will Taylar and Andy Goodman become CCC’s Web site design arm.

For CCC, the addition of Hive gives the multimedia specialist an expanded on-screen offer for clients. CCC Managing director Nick Crean says: “We have been looking at bringing Web design agencies in-house for some time and were particularly impressed with the originality of Hive’s work and its approach to design.”

Taylar says he and Goodman “are particularly happy to be joining CCC after a chance to see their existing multimedia work and the calibre of clients”. He adds: “The opportunity to add to CCC’s success is there.”
